It's been 4 days since I've blogged. Writing has been a bit on the back burner. My daughter had a huge project to finish and has needed the computer and last night we were up until midnight (a time these eyes rarely see anymore) working on a collage she had to finish. At least it was something fun...the science projects go to her Dad...the artsy things to me...I'm good with that.

But, last night I worked on my book a little without the computer. I was doing this during the commericals while American Idol was on...yeah I'm hooked on that one, though I don't watch much tv. My daughter got me started on it and we've been watching it together for a few years now. No, I don't usually write or bounce ideas around my brain about my book while, I'm watching tv. It's not where I generally derive inspiration :) As a matter of act all the shows that I watch (2 or 3) are ones that my daughter got me hooked on...bad influence :)

But, I came up with some good ideas as I bantered with myself about various ways I could go here or there with a character or end the book. I have a notebook I started side by side with my book. I have made notes in it every since I began The Attic. It's full of ideas, research, notes on what I need to follow up on, etc. I find this a very handy tool to have next to me as I write. Then I can keep track of...everything I might want to remember pertaining to the book. More later XO
